Do You Wanna Know a Secret?

When artist Frank Warren handed out 3,000 postcards to strangers in 2004, inviting them to write down their secrets and mail them back, he probably didnt anticipate that the PostSecret project would grow into what it is today: an ongoing blog, several books and a traveling exhibition  the latter of which opens tonight at Foothills Art Center.

The PostSecret display at Foothills is a compilation of Warrens postcards arranged around the center, which should work nicely with an auxiliary show called INTENTION: The Nude. Its a smaller exhibition of sculptures and paintings of nude figures, kind of playing off of PostSecret, explains Foothills spokeswoman Annetta Crecelius. People are revealing their secrets through the postcards, where these nudes reveal secrets of the human form.

Both shows open with a reception from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and will run through June 26. And mark your calendars: Warren himself will be at Foothills on May 21 for a lecture and book signing. Foothills Art Center is at 809 15th Street in Golden; call 303-279-3922 or visit www.foothillsartcenter.org.
